The stories about the birth of the Harvey Wallbanger
cocktail is almost as many as this classic drink's fans.
Our favourite story is set in New York during the days of the great stock baisse
that started off the great depression of the twenties.

On a bar close to Wall Street, a stock broker named Harvey, and ordered drink
after drink.
The contents where vodka, orange juice and Galliano.
After every
glass he stood up, walked over to the othe side of the room, and banged his
head, hard, against the wall.
Then he ordered another drink...

If there is a sensmorale in this story it must be that there will always come
something good from even the things that hurt us the most.

In a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the gin, lemon juice,
and sugar.
Shake well. Strain into a collins (or highgball) glass almost filled with ice
cubes.
Add the club soda. Stir and garnish with a red cherry and an orange slice.
